KingNoahC17’s winning team had a clear mix of weather pressure, disruption, redirection, and strong special attacking. Alolan Ninetales brought Choice Scarf with Snow Warning and a fast spread of Blizzard, Freeze-Dry, Icy Wind, and Moonblast. That gave the team immediate speed control through Icy Wind while also forcing opponents to respect Blizzard pressure from turn one.
Raichu was another key speed and positioning piece. With Raichunite Y, Lightning Rod, Timid nature, and Fake Out, it gave the team a way to disrupt early turns while threatening with Zap Cannon and Focus Blast. Lycanroc Dusk added a Focus Sash physical attacker with Tough Claws, Accelerock, Rock Slide, Close Combat, and Protect, giving KingNoahC17 priority and spread Rock damage in the same slot.
The team’s middle was especially difficult to ignore. Scovillain carried Scovillainite with Moody and a Bold set of Overheat, Giga Drain, Rage Powder, and Protect, giving the team redirection alongside offensive coverage. Gholdengo was the main snowball threat, using Life Orb, Good as Gold, Modest Make It Rain, Shadow Ball, Protect, and Nasty Plot. Milotic rounded out the six with Sitrus Berry, Competitive, Protect, Ice Beam, Scald, and Icy Wind, adding another speed-control option while punishing stat drops.
Across the top teams, Gholdengo stood out immediately: both first and second place used Life Orb Good as Gold Modest sets with Make It Rain, Shadow Ball, Nasty Plot, and Protect. Milotic also appeared on both finalist teams with Sitrus Berry, Competitive, Scald, Ice Beam, Icy Wind, and Protect, though KingNoahC17 used Modest while culteejen used Calm.
Kingambit was another major presence, appearing on the third- and fourth-place teams and continuing through multiple top-eight teams. Black Glasses Defiant Adamant Kingambit was used by both QueerCrocodile and Carni, with Sucker Punch and Protect providing consistent endgame pressure. Focus Sash also showed up repeatedly among top teams, including Lycanroc Dusk, Excadrill, Whimsicott, Pelipper, and Sneasler in the listed top eight.
The event also showed a wide range of speed control: Icy Wind from Alolan Ninetales and Milotic, Tailwind from Staraptor, Dragonite, Whimsicott, Volcarona, and Pelipper, Trick Room from Indeedee ♀, and priority from Accelerock, Aqua Jet, Sucker Punch, Grassy Glide, and Fake Out.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Life Orb Gholdengo, Competitive Milotic, and layered speed control before committing to a single game plan.
